Thanks everyone. I love what I've been inspired to do from this forum. I'm just trying to keep up with every other creative person in here with my little style.

Roo, this is full scale over a skull. Although the I had to add some details and work around one eye that the existing skull had. Oh, and the existing skull has a scorpion on the head with had to be worked around and removed.

Flippin wicked man !!!!!!! That color is dead on. What color is that , is it dye,stain,paint, what. How did you apply it ?? What weight of leather are you using ? how long did it take ? What did you eat for lunch that day ? I've always wonder when one makes a wild mask, how close is it to what you where going for ?

Hey Freak thanks dude. Yeah I like how the color turned out. I kinda got lost in this one again and when I was done I said Wow too. kinda hard to explain but I'm sure you know the feeling. The dye is Tandy's Antique Saddle Tan. I like working with it cause it's a gel. I apply it with a foam brush, wipe with shop rag to semi smoothen. Wait a while then reapply it but let it puddle in some spots for that blackish detail. The leather is, I believe, 2/3 oz. totally soaked and fit over and slowly dried it with my wife's pretty blow dryer. It took about 3 hrs because I worked in between dinner, chatting with company and my boy was asleep so I had to be kinda quiet.

This actually turned out way way better than I anticipated but I am glad it did. Oh, and btw I had an Al Pastor Torta for lunch with chips and an orange soda....fanta I think.
